You asked and asked for it, so here it is. Despite all of my better judgement, I’ve finally scanned in the next month of this poor disturbed woman’s journal. This is the eighth installment of the infamous diary within a used book that I procured from a clearance event for “junk books” in a rundown and partly abandoned library. For those of you new to this odyssey, the journal is the story of a peculiarly amazing woman living in 1988 who just happens to love cats a little too much. If you would like to enjoy her tale from the very beginning or catch up on some of her earlier entries, go to The Cat Lover’s Diary.

OK now I begin to wonder. Is this lady a weirdo or a spaz? I know she says no, but hey, burning down the animal shelter? There is just enough truth (Johnny Carson is on TV) mixed with fiction (Wine is like supercat grod) in this tale to keep me FASCINATED. If this person was in her midtwenties in 1988, she’d be closing in on 50 now. WHERE IS SHE?

yes, it is a real show on TLC. they made a seeries of (just) “hoarders”, and then they realized that people want more, so they found “animal hoarders”. (it is aired Sundays evening but here, GMT+1). can’t wait to see next season, wonder what new disfunctionality they find for us.

This is one of the saddest, funniest, most disturbing things I’ve read in a long time. What the hell turns someone into a crazy cat person? Are they born that way, with some genetic defect, or is it some kind of unresolved Mommy issue? I am highly allergic to cats, so unless I wanted to make the ER my second home, I will never have this problem. Thank God.

“This is one of the saddest, funniest, most disturbing things I’ve read in a long time. ”
this is exactly what it is (if it is really really real diary, not somebody that brilliantly wrote a disturbing thing, you know, just to disturb).
